Description

Bring entertainment to the kitchen to please every crowd. Sian's Kitchen is a collection of comforting dishes with Caribbean flair.

BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcaster, DJ, Channel 5/BET presenter and restaurateur Sian Anderson is an exciting new voice in the culinary scene. After founding her immensely popular restaurant Octaves, Sian is now celebrating her Black British identity with Jamaican and St Lucian heritage in a modern Caribbean cookbook.

Among the 80 fresh and flavoursome recipes are interviews with Big Zuu, Julie Adenuga and Big Narstie, as Sian invites them to dinner to discuss their favourite food, plus there is a playlist for every chapter to help you set the mood.

This is an invitation to enjoy a taste of what makes Caribbean culture in the UK so special – gathering around the table to share comforting, vibrant dishes. With chapters including 20-Minute Fixes, Comfort Classics and From the Islands, you’ll find plenty of inspiration with recipes such as: Caribbean Plantain & Black Bean Bowl Ackee Fried Rice, Jamaican Curry Snapper Fish, Oxtail Stew, Curry Chicken and Jerk Lamb with all the extras. And keep the conversation flowing with: Jam Tarts, Sprinkle Cake and Rum Punch.

Sian's Kitchen is a crowd-pleasing, love letter of a cookbook containing everything Sian holds close to her heart: cooking, culture and entertainment. 

Bring entertainment to the kitchen to please every crowd. Sian's Kitchen is a collection of comforting dishes with Caribbean flair.

Yum. Very interesting cookbook. Lots of good recipes and intriguing ingredients to try here (although I personally would have to replace the Scotch Bonnet chilis with something milder--Anaheims, maybe?) Recommended.

Wonderful selection of Caribbean and Caribbean inspired food.

I loved the little snippets of where they first had the food etc.

The ending of the book has a few playlists of music from Caribbean artistes and that makes my heart happy.

All in all a great cookbook.

Thank you NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion, Carnival and Sian Anderson for giving me an ARC copy of this wonderful cookbook 💖

A great cookbook which is also fun and colourful to read. The photos are mouth-watering and the play list suggestions are interesting and fun. Love the interviews, the recipes and different sections to this book. It is certainly fun and filled with brightness and joy which makes for a good read and really did bring a smile to my face.

So now to get in the kitchen and start cooking but where do I begin.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Now this…is a cookbook! I love Caribbean food but have never really cooked it before and I can’t wait to try nearly all of these recipes. You can tell this is written with love—for the food and for those who cooked it before—and the playlists to go along with each chapter are a fun addition!

As a Jamaican woman I enjoyed this cookbook. Some of the recipes were things I was familiar with other were things that were new to me. There are several that I intend to try with my family. The playlists listed at the end were a nice touch. If you are going to enjoy some Caribbean food having some good Caribbean music is the perfect accompaniment.

Sian’s Kitchen - by Sian Anderson

5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a mixed race girl with a Jamaican heritage, this cookbook combines my two favourite things, good music and wholesome Caribbean food!

This was an easy 5 stars for me. I loved that 99% of the recipes had pictures and there’s some old and new recipes for me to try.

The playlists to accompany each chapter were *chefs kiss* (pun intended!) I can’t wait to get in the kitchen and have a mash up!

A big thank you to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion and the fabulous author Sian Anderson for this ARC in return for an honest review.

I will also be sharing this review on my Instagram account and Amazon on the publication date.
